Spark scam warning
Had a phone call yesterday from what appeared to be a local number 078475957, automated voice telling me my internet would be disconnected that day. Select 1 to confirm receiving the message, select 2 if i have questions. Didn't select any numbers and the call ceased a bit later without any dialogue. Called Spark, they did checks on my account and confirmed they had not attempted to make contact with me and that this was a scam, had I pushed either number the chance of being hacked was very high. Beware.
If you experience, Spark Incident call investigations centre (unwanted calls or scam) call 0800 809806 8am-6.30pm Mon-Fri, or call 123 after hours. The more info they have from customers the quicker they can track down the perpetrators. I was advised the police are aware/involved also.
